Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (177ðC).
  2. In a large bowl, beat together the egg, milk, and melted butter until well combined.
  3. Add the stale French bread cubes to the bowl and toss gently to coat evenly with the egg mixture.
  4. Stir in the chopped walnuts, diced cheddar cheese, and ground cinnamon.
  5. In a medium saucepan, combine the packed dark brown sugar, raisins, diced apple, and 1 cup of water.
  6. Cook the fruit mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the apples are just softened and the sugar has dissolved, about 3 to 5 minutes.
  7. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
  8. Butter a 1-1/2 quart casserole dish. Place half of the bread mixture into the dish and spread it evenly.
  9. Using a slotted spoon, lift the raisins and apples from the syrup and distribute them evenly over the bread layer.
  10. Cover the fruit with the remaining bread mixture.
  11. Pour the reserved syrup evenly over the top of the bread mixture.
  12. Gently press down on the mixture with the back of a wooden spoon to help the bread absorb the syrup.
  13. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is lightly browned and the pudding is set in the center.
